PEOPLE v. WRIGHT

Defendant's suppression motion was properly denied. Defendant was seen by one of the arresting officers with his pants pocket weighted down by an "L-shaped" object, which the arresting officer believed to be the outline of a gun. The arresting officer's observation provided reasonable suspicion to believe that defendant was armed and dangerous, and justified the officer's brief question and minimally intrusive patdown of defendant's pants pocket ( People v. Prochilo, 41 N.Y.2d 759, 762). We see no reason to disturb the court's credibility determinations, which are supported by the record ( see, People v. Prochilo, supra, at 761).
